"Of course."
The City Lord nodded with a smile.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk."
"I've never seen a Legendary-grade Divine Artifact before!"
Qin Feiyang looked envious.
"Kid, you're making fun of me, aren't you? You even have a Sovereign Divine Weapon, why would you be envious of my legendary artifact?"
The City Lord rolled his eyes.
"I'm not joking, I'm really envious."
Qin Feiyang chuckled.
He couldn't control the ancient castle at all, so if he had a legendary artifact, he might not be invincible, but he could at least protect himself.
The City Lord glared at Qin Feiyang in annoyance and said, "Although we four City Lords all possess Legend rank heaven-defying Divine Artifacts, we only tell others that they are Peak rank heaven-defying Divine Artifacts."
"Why hide it from the public?"
Qin Feiyang was suspicious.
"On one hand, it's to guard against the Demon Palace, and on the other hand, it's to keep a low profile!"
The City Lord smiled.
"Low profile?"
Qin Feiyang pursed his lips. He really couldn't tell.
The City Lord said, "So, it's very difficult to touch the City Lord of Cloud Sea City."
"Who said we're going to touch him?"
"I just want you to help me escape. You just have to help me break the barrier."
"As for the City Lord of Cloud Sea City, I'll slowly settle the score with him in the future."
Qin Feiyang's eyes were filled with coldness.
"Just escape?"
The three of them were stunned.
If that was the case, it would be very simple.
At that time, they could just change their appearance, run to Cloud Sea City, break the barrier, and leave. Who would know it was them?
"Okay."
"I'll make a trip there myself. You should also get ready. Once the barrier is broken, leave immediately."
The City Lord looked at Qin Feiyang and smiled.
"Okay."
Qin Feiyang nodded.
The City Lord was also a perfect Sovereign, so it would be easy for him to break the barrier.
"Okay, I'll go now."
After the City Lord finished speaking, the figure disappeared.
Qin Feiyang let out a long breath and looked at Zhuo Xiaoxian, "I still don't know your foster father's name."
"My foster father is Lu Zhengyuan."
Zhuo Xiaoxian replied.
"Lu Zhengyuan …"
Qin Feiyang murmured and asked curiously, "Does he not have a family?"
"No."
"I heard from my adoptive father that his parents died when he was young. He has been alone since he was young."
Zhuo Xiaoxian said.
"Then why didn't he marry and have children?"
Qin Feiyang was suspicious.
"I heard from my father that when Foster Father was young, he had a woman. However, for some unknown reason, the two of them separated."
"From then on, Foster Father never found another woman."
Zhou Xiaoxian shook her head.
"I see!"
"It seems that your adoptive father is also a man with a story."
Qin Feiyang smiled.
"Yes."
Zhuo Xiaoxian nodded.
…
It would take a long time to travel from Wind Ocean City to Cloud Ocean City. Therefore, Qin Feiyang was not in a hurry. After chatting with Zhuo Xiaoxian for a while, he returned home to spend time with the Mermaid Princess.
Zhuo Xiaoxian also went to find Zhao Xiaojin.
However, Qin Feiyang had told her not to tell Zhao Xiaojin about the Black Tortoise World for the time being.
…
Outside.
The people of Cloud Ocean City were moving in a hurry.
Although they did not know what was going on, it was an order from the City Governor's Estate. They did not dare to disobey.
Late that night, the huge Cloud Ocean City became an empty city.
Everyone gathered outside the city and looked at the city from afar. Their eyes were filled with bewilderment.
What was going on?
Everyone was actually asked to leave the city?
…
Late that night.
The Zhao family.
Zhao Xiaojin's eldest and second uncles returned to the main hall. They looked at the City Governor and said respectfully, "My lord, everything has been arranged."
"You're quite efficient!"
The City Governor chuckled.
"My lord, how could we dare to neglect your orders?"
Both of them smiled obsequiously.
"Alright, you two leave the city as well."
The City Governor waved his hand.
"Yes."
Both of them replied respectfully. Although they wanted the Black Tortoise World and were very unwilling, they did not dare to act rashly in front of the powerful City Governor. They turned around and tore through the sky.
…
Around 100 breaths later.
The City Governor stood up slowly. His Divine Sense was firmly locked onto the Black Tortoise World. He smiled and said, "I'll give you one last chance. Come out and accept your death, and I'll leave your corpses intact."
But a short moment passed, and no one answered him.
"Stubborn fools!"
The City Governor's face instantly turned cold, and he instantly appeared outside the barrier and stood in the air above the main hall.
After that.
Divine energy surged out and covered the heavens and the earth as it surged towards the surroundings.
In just a few breaths of time, another enormous Divine Energy Barrier appeared.
This enormous barrier enveloped the entire city!
He'd done this to further prevent Qin Feiyang from escaping with the Black Tortoise World.
Because once he awakened the Heaven Defying Legendary Artifact, then the barrier that trapped the main hall would be destroyed.
Once the barrier was destroyed, then Qin Feiyang would naturally be able to escape with the Black Tortoise World.
So, he wanted to prevent that from happening!
…
"Look! Quick!"
"That's the City Governor's barrier, right?"
"Why did he set up such a huge barrier?"
The people outside the city had puzzled expressions on their faces.
The only ones who knew about it were the members of the Zhao family.
…
Clang!
In the air above the main hall!
After he finished setting up the barrier, the cold smile on the City Governor's face grew even wider. He waved his hand, and a 1m long sword appeared.
The long sword was completely black, and it emanated a terrifying sharpness!
This was his legendary heaven-defying divine artifact!
"Now, even if you take the initiative to beg for mercy, I won't give you a chance!"
He laughed sinisterly, grabbed the black sword, and appeared in the main hall with a single step. He slashed at the Black Tortoise World!
Dazzling flames immediately erupted from the collision in the air!
A terrifying aura erupted.
The main hall was shattered, and the barrier collapsed.
The entire Zhao family was razed to the ground!
However, at the same time, the City Governor's body shook, and he staggered back repeatedly.
Cracks also appeared on the blade of the black longsword in his hand.
"How is this possible?"
His face was instantly filled with disbelief.
Originally, he was full of confidence. After all, it was a Legendary Artifact.
But he never expected that it would be him who was blasted back by the terrifying impact. Not only was his arm numb, but the blood in his body was also surging.
What level of Spatial Artifact was that?
His heart was filled with shock.
At the same time, the greed in his eyes grew even stronger!
"Awaken!"
He roared furiously.
Clang!
The black sword immediately started to awaken!
A terrifying aura instantly surged out in all directions from the Zhao family.
Rumble!
Crack!
Along with a series of loud bangs that shook the heavens and the earth, the halls and houses collapsed one after another like the ears of wheat in a field.
In just an instant, the prosperous Ocean of Clouds City had been reduced to nothingness.
The barrier that enveloped the entire city trembled violently and warped from the impact of the aura.
The City Governor was a perfect Ruler.
The might of a Legendary Artifact was equivalent to a perfect Ruler.
However, a fully awakened Legendary Artifact couldn't be underestimated.
After all, the barrier was only formed from Divine Energy and wasn't enhanced by any Divine Techniques. A small barrier wouldn't be able to resist it at all.
For example, the barrier outside the main hall had instantly collapsed.
However, the barrier was large enough to envelop the entire city.
Moreover, it was common knowledge that the fluctuations of battle would gradually weaken with distance.
In other words.
When the black sword's aura spread outside the city, its might had weakened greatly.
So, the barrier set up by the City Governor was barely able to resist the aura and prevent it from shattering.
So long as the barrier didn't shatter, then Qin Feiyang wouldn't be able to utilize the Black Tortoise World to escape the city.
......
In the blink of an eye!
"Slash!"
As the black sword awakened, the City Governor roared fiercely, and the black sword slashed down towards the Black Tortoise World once more.
Clang!
Flames appeared once more.
The City Governor was blasted back once more!
The black longsword in his hand shattered into pieces with a 'kacha' sound!
"This...."
He fell into shock as he gazed at the fragments of the sword that fell to the ground.
It was actually so terrifying!
......
"What powerful fluctuations!"
"Who is the City Governor fighting?"
Even though the barrier was sealed off, the people outside the city could still sense the terrifying aura.
A middle aged man was standing silently within the crowd.
He was around 40 years old, had an ordinary appearance, and didn't possess a strong aura.
He was Zhao Xiaojin's adoptive father, Lu Zhengyuan!
However, he'd changed his face to an unfamiliar one, and he'd intentionally concealed his cultivation.
Lu Zhengyuan laughed bitterly as he gazed at the madly warping barrier.
This kid was simply a scourge. No matter where he went, he would cause a big mess.
Swoosh!
A moment later.
He flashed out from the crowd and charged towards the barrier.
"Hmm?"
The others immediately gazed at Lu Zhengyuan with surprise and bewilderment.
What's he trying to do?
Bang!
A monstrous aura erupted as Lu Zhengyuan slapped his palm against the barrier with all his might.
"What a formidable aura!"
"He seems to be a peak Sovereign!"
"Shit!"
"Flee!"
"Once the barrier shatters, the fluctuations of the battle will charge out from within. If we don't flee quickly, then we'll all be finished!"
Someone suddenly roared furiously.
In an instant.
Everyone turned around and fled with terror.
But in an instant, only Lu Zhengyuan remained here.
A bright glow flashed through Lu Zhengyuan's eyes as he slammed his palm against the barrier, and then powerful divine energy surged out from his palm.
Crack!
Along with a deafening explosion, the barrier shattered into pieces.
Sure enough.
At the instant the barrier shattered, the waves of energy sealed within it surged out with overwhelming force.
Enormous mountains collapsed madly while the ground shattered. It was like the end of the world had arrived!
Those who fled were still fleeing, and they felt extremely fortunate in their hearts.
Fortunately, they'd fled in time, otherwise, they would have probably perished.
However …
In that way, they had no idea what the City Governor of Ocean of Clouds City was doing.
Because they were too far away, even Sovereigns were unable to see the situation within the city clearly.
…
At the same time!
The City Governor who was in a daze suddenly raised his head and looked towards the barrier.
Why has the barrier shattered?
"The dignified City Governor of Ocean of Clouds City actually bullied a junior. Aren't you afraid of being ridiculed by the world?"
Lu Zhengyuan's voice resounded.
Of course.
His voice had changed, so the City Governor didn't know who he was at all.
"Who are you?"
The City Governor looked towards the source of the voice, and a vicious expression instantly crept up between his brows when he saw Lu Zhengyuan who stood outside the city.
"I'm someone you can't afford to offend."
Lu Zhengyuan laughed coldly, and then he paid no further attention to the City Governor. He just turned around and flew away.
"You're courting death!"
The City Governor was furious. He was just about to pursue Chen Xi when his expression suddenly changed, and he hurriedly released his divine sense to scan the surroundings.
